Finish with Lemon

Turn off the heat, cover, and let the spices steep for another 3 minutes. Strain into a mug and squeeze or float lemon rounds just before drinking to preserve heat-sensitive vitamin C.

Instructions for Optimal Skin Glow

– Daily Dose: Drink warm first thing in the morning to kick-start metabolism, then sip the remainder between meals; aim for 2–3 cups daily for at least four weeks.

– Hydration Hack: On hot afternoons, cool the strained tea, add an extra lemon round, and pour over ice; the cold infusion still delivers detox perks.

– Sensitive-Stomach Tip: Start with half the spice amounts for the first few days; gradually build up as your gut adjusts.

– Consistency Counts: Store a day’s batch in a thermos to keep it warm; avoid microwaving, which can degrade antioxidants.
